LG W2453V-PF 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Gloss Black)

First off, I must say that this monitor is huge (16"10) yet it lightweight. The piano black finish that goes around the screen does have a habit of capturing fingerprints, but once I set it down, and cleaned it off, it looks stunning. The stand is nice and sturdy; yes the monitor will wabble if you shake the desk, but definately not much. It doesn't shake as much as my 19" Viewsonic Monitor does. Sometimes when I walked by my Viewsonic monitor, I thought it was going to tip over. This one...never gave it a minutes thought. Sturdy and strong. I was amazed to come across this LCD monitor. A few places, I've seen it for over $[...]and others, a shade under $[...]. I was so happy to find this monitor for $[...].

I had this monitor for a little while and I am so happy I made this purchase. As stated earlier, I previously owned a 19" LCD and I went with a 24" LCD monitor to compliment my Sapphire overclocked 4890 video card. I went from 1280x1048 to 1920x1080 (with HDMI...Read more

I've been lucky in my career to have great computer equipment. From workstations to PCs with 21" hi-res monitors in the early 90s. So when it came time to upgrade a couple of months ago it was easy to decide on the processor and components but the most difficult choice was the monitor. I'm often on a computer for 18+ hour days. After living at several computer stores while comparing monitors I had finally made my decision. But, the store was out of the one that I had selected. A quick look and the LG stood out. Salesman told me I could bring it back if I didn't like it. It was a lucky choice that I have not regretted, even if my pocket book did.

The monitor looks good, but then most monitors are glossy black and look very similar. I do like the sexy soft red smiling light. It is easy to touch the on off switch and the light is not bright enough to bother me. I have found some indicator lights are too bright.
The real proof of a monitor is how good the screen image...Read more

A fine bargain, in my view. Picture is vivid, clear and bright. Adjustments are easy, although the Forte software package will not run in Windows 7. Eventually, LG will fix that. LCD monitor is glossy black with a clear strip at the bottom, attractive on or off. Controls are odd. They are tiny LCD's, which you activate by passing your fingers over them. No pushing or pressing. One caveat: All these widescreen LCD monitors are in a very different proportion from the height-width ratio that may be familiar to you. Accordingly, some images, in order to fill the screen, must necessarily be stretched. I found this disconcerting in games for a while, but eventually grew accustomed to it. And one more caveat: The monitor comes with an old-fashioned VGA cable that will not give you the best results. You will need to buy a DVI cable separately if you don't have one. Finally, would I, personally, buy this monitor again? Yes. That is the best endorsement one can make.
